We had four Kuwaitis on my OCTU course, and they split them up, one per flight of 9 or 10 cadets. They all did pretty well, mucked in with the rest of us etc. The only thing I noticed was a marked reluctance to crawl out of their pits at 0600 every morning!
A couple of major differences - they didn't have "safety in numbers" and weren't living en masse in a group where they could reinforce each others actions. Also the Middle Eastern/Arab world was totally different then. This whole project looks absolutely bonkers, and doomed to failure.
